Sony buys a Ring

The film I most wanted to see at Sundance 2005 wasn't at Sundance. It
was showing in Salt Lake City as part of Slamdance, the indie
alternative film festival to Sundance's more mainstream indie festival.
I was unfortunately unable to make the trek to the city to see the
documentary.

Now, according to Variety, Ringers: Lord of the Fans
has been acquired by Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. Carlene
Cordova's documentary tracks the cultural influence of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Ring. books. Think the movie Trekies but with LOTR
fans. The film is narrated by Lord of the Rings hobbit Dominic
Monaghan. Peter Jackson, Elijah Wood, Ian McKellen, Clive Barker and
David Carradine also appear in the movie.
